Reports indicate various instances of familial tension regarding inheritance, property, and caregiving responsibilities. 

In Japan, personal accounts describe disputes following the death of relatives. One case involved a woman confronted at a funeral by an unknown woman and child claiming paternity and inheritance rights. Another report noted changes in a household following the death of an elderly woman, where a previous caregiver and daughter-in-law was replaced by a new wife within a year.

In the Czech Republic, conflicts have emerged over the distribution of parental assets. One individual reported feeling marginalized by a father who favored a brother with financial support, a perception later challenged by discovered records. In a separate matter, siblings are in conflict over the maintenance and renovation of a family cottage, specifically regarding the division of costs and labor among family members.
